Racket

Racket - a scheme implementation

Here are my (feeble) attempts at trying to get a grip on Racket, the programming language.

  • arguments - specifying optional arguments in functions
  • awk - with a sidenote on scsh
  • config - configuring and installation of Racket environment
  • curses - using the ncurses library from racket.
  • echoserver - an echo server written in Racket.
  • filesystem - handing directories and files
  • generators - how to use generators in drscheme for say, scanning over directories
  • http - web access
  • invoke - how to invoke a scheme file from the command line - it's the first line that's important
  • macros - some notes
  • matching - pattern matching
  • msg01 - discussion that I had on comp.lang.scheme about iteration
  • parsers - lex and yacc
  • read-file - reading and iterating over a file
  • strings - string-handling routines
  • table - how to create a table in a web-server
